Modern expressions of art have been on display since 1895 in Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art. Now the storied museum boasts a stunning new entrance and exhibition space that stands as a piece of modern art in its own right.

“The Bathtub,” as locals call the addition, stands in stark contrast to the straight lines and decorative neo-Renaissance style of the original 19th century building to which it is linked. Massive aramid/carbon composite sandwich panels provided by Teijin Aramid and Toho Tenax, respectively, make the museum the largest composite-clad building in the world.
